748: Chunyang Villa, the Saint holds a banquet
Chunyang Holy City was incredibly vast.
There wasn't a single ordinary person in the City; all one could see were Cultivators, an immense number of them, constantly coming and going, making it extremely lively.
The City's scenery was superb, especially at night, with bright lights illuminating all directions. Red lanterns adorned every street and alley, their glow dazzling and brilliant.
Numerous treasure towers, treasure pavilions, and alchemist towers stood tall, filled with countless treasures.
Xie Weilou and Fu Aniu were walking on the main street when a delicate maidservant arrived on a flying boat.
"Two Young Masters, please wait!"
The maidservant flew down.
Xie Weilou looked at the maidservant and asked with a smile, "Miss, is there something you need?"
The maidservant quickly replied, "Two Young Masters, my Saintess is hosting a banquet at Pure Yang Mountain Villa in the East City District and wishes to invite you to attend."
"The Pure Yang Saintess is hosting a banquet?"
Fu Aniu's interest was piqued upon hearing this.
The Pure Yang Saintess was also a peerless beauty, and her strength was unfathomable.
He said to Xie Weilou, "Brother Xie, shall we go take a look?"
Xie Weilou smiled and said, "Since she's personally extended an invitation, naturally, we should go."
This was the territory of the Pure Yang Holy Land. When they approached this place, their every move was monitored, and their identities had long been ascertained.
But it wasn't a big problem!
He hadn't disguised himself, meaning he feared nothing.
The maidservant added, "This banquet is not simple. A few days ago, Fire Province was enveloped in Chaos, and something fell from the Chaos. That item is now in the hands of my Saintess, and she will bring it out for everyone to admire at this banquet."
"Something that fell from the Chaos?"
Xie Weilou and Fu Aniu became even more interested upon hearing this.
"It's a wondrous item. The Saintess will bring it out for everyone to admire shortly."
The maidservant softly said, "Two Young Masters, please follow me."
She flew onto the flying boat.
Xie Weilou and Fu Aniu didn't hesitate either; their figures flickered, appearing on the flying boat.
The maidservant waved her hand, and the flying boat turned into an afterimage, speeding away... Half an incense stick later.
The maidservant led Xie Weilou and Fu Aniu to a massive Blazing Lake in the East City District.
In the center of the lake stood a reddish-yellow square, upon which was a mysterious mountain villa.
At this moment, some powerful young Cultivators were gathered here, including Ye Cangxiao, Wei Mingyuan, and Ye Suxing.
Everyone present had received an invitation.
The maidservant said to Xie Weilou and Fu Aniu, "Two Young Masters, that is Pure Yang Mountain Villa ahead, but you'll need to cross over yourselves."
Xie Weilou and Fu Aniu smiled calmly, then flew down to the ground.
"Fellow Daoists, welcome!"
Inside Pure Yang Mountain Villa, a soft voice rang out. The speaker was none other than the Pure Yang Saintess, her voice clear and melodious like an oriole.
Ye Cangxiao cupped his fists and said, "According to a maidservant just now, the Saintess has a peculiar item in her possession?"
The Pure Yang Saintess's voice carried out, "A few days ago, Fire Province was enveloped by Chaos, and by chance, a peculiar item fell from the Chaos. It is now in my hands. If you are interested, you may come and take a look."
...
Everyone was extremely interested in the item the Pure Yang Saintess mentioned.
They looked at the Blazing Lake ahead. This Blazing Lake was not simple; it harbored terrifying killing intent, and ordinary people would likely find it difficult to cross.
"This Prince is very interested in what the Saintess spoke of; I shall go and take a look first."
Ye Cangxiao took a step, instantly appearing on the surface of the lake.
Boom!
As he stepped onto the lake, the surface vibrated, and dozens of flaming light pillars shot out, forming a giant cage that trapped Ye Cangxiao.
The power of these flames was extremely terrifying, capable of threatening those in the Guixu Realm. An ordinary Guixu Realm Cultivator caught within them would likely be instantly incinerated to ash.
"This level of power cannot stop me."
Ye Cangxiao smiled calmly and took another step.
Boom!
A fierce aura erupted, and the surrounding flaming light pillars were instantly shattered.
His figure moved, and he arrived at the square, then entered the mountain villa with his hands clasped behind his back.
Wei Mingyuan and Ye Suxing didn't hesitate either, immediately rushing towards the lake. Two fire pythons appeared in the lake, simultaneously lunging at them.
Buzz!
Wei Mingyuan formed a hand seal, and his spiritual energy transformed into a golden Bright Seal.
...
Ye Suxing flicked his sleeve, and starlight permeated the air, condensing into seven stars.
Rumble!
Two attacks erupted, blasting the two fire pythons apart. Without much concern, they flew onto the square and then entered Pure Yang Mountain Villa.
"We cannot fall behind either."
Some of the people present immediately rushed forward.
Buzz!
The killing intent in the lake erupted instantly, with ten thousand acres of flames bursting forth, and attacks sweeping wildly. Only three or four people successfully withstood the attacks and stepped onto the square.
The remaining individuals were enveloped by the blazing flames, unable to escape, and were eventually moved out of the fire lake by a mysterious force, which meant they were not qualified to enter Pure Yang Mountain Villa.
...
These failed individuals returned to the lakeside, their eyes revealing a hint of dejection.
Compared to these Heavens Proud Son, they were still lacking. Even with an invitation, they were not qualified to enter the mountain villa.
Only Xie Weilou and Fu Aniu remained at the scene.
Fu Aniu smiled and said, "Brother Xie, watch my performance."
"Heh! What can a fellow who arrived in a broken ox cart possibly do?"
"Exactly! We all failed, so how could he possibly succeed?"
...
These people looked at Fu Aniu with disdain in their eyes.
They failed themselves, yet instead of looking for their own reasons, they mocked others, perhaps seeking comfort in doing so.
"It's just a Blazing Lake."
Fu Aniu smiled calmly, ignoring these people. He waved his sleeve, and a bronze boat appeared on the lake surface.
He flew onto the bronze boat, which emitted a light, forming a protective shield, and quickly rushed towards the square.
Rumble!
The surrounding killing intent continuously erupted, but it couldn't harm his bronze boat in the slightest, and he successfully reached the square.
"That works too?"
"Hmph! Just a good-for-nothing, merely resorting to a trick."
"Indeed, if not for that bronze boat, he definitely wouldn't have made it across."
Some people, seeing Fu Aniu cross, couldn't help but feel displeased, as if they had been slapped in the face, and could only speak sourly.
Fu Aniu arrived at the square, put away his bronze boat, and waved at Xie Weilou with a wide smile: "Brother Xie, it's your turn."
He hoped to see these people mock Xie Weilou, and then Xie Weilou would make a grand display, thoroughly slapping them in the face.
...
Xie Weilou stretched lazily and walked forward.
"This one is not simple; he's probably a master."
Everyone's gaze fell on Xie Weilou, but they didn't mock him, their eyes showing a hint of surprise.
The Black-Robed Man before them had a handsome appearance, a slightly lazy demeanor, and an extraordinarily refined aura, yet he gave off a very peculiar feeling; this person was definitely not simple.
"Damn it! A bunch of dogs, playing favorites, showing differential treatment, aren't they?"
Fu Aniu's face darkened when he heard these people's words.
They mocked him, but when facing Xie Weilou, it was 'not simple'?!
These guys definitely saw that Xie Weilou was handsome and had an extraordinary aura, so they didn't dare to speak carelessly!
If that was the case, didn't it mean he wasn't handsome?
A bunch of short-sighted fools! Besides his somewhat rough name, where was Fu Aniu simple?
